William Green was making his breakfast when he heard somebody in his garden. “I went out the back door, and suddenly I saw this guy running toward me. He pushed me out of the way and took my bicycle from the garden shed.” William did not resist, as he knew he would end up second-best in a fight with the intruder. The burglar tried to cycle away, but the tires on the bike were flat, making it difficult to ride. Immediately after the man fled, William called the local police.
When they arrived, officers asked him to describe the man, but instead he offered to draw them a picture. In fact, William had worked for more than 20 years in daily newspapers doing caricatures of Australian soccer players. “I had no difficulty in remembering the man’s face because he was so close to me,” he said.
Police cruised the neighborhood with the sketch in search of the alleged burglar and found him within half an hour. “The cartoon was a perfect likeness of the burglar,” said another police officer.
The police believe that this is the first time they have ever caught a suspect by using a cartoon sketch. A senior police officer said that in the past some victims had used their cell phones to take photos at crime scenes, but they had not been as effective.
